The 'other' famous restaurant. Right across the street from The Bavarian Inn and equally as good, but you may want to try them both so that you can decide. Slightly different menu, but the same famous recipe chicken. Since the founders of both restaurants trace back to the same ancestral family recipe!

Surviving in an era where malls are closing. The Birch Run mall is hanging in there. It is still a destination. Partly because of its location. Where most outlet malls are lucky to attract a restaurant or two. There are a dozen or more at this I-75 oasis. Which speaks to the crowds it attracts.
